Default Detail...err not really.

Decided to do a little painting on my beater so this definitely isn't a detail thread like some of you are used to seeing. It is what it is but it came out pretty good. Let me know what you think. I need to get side markers for it but just haven't picked them up yet.













Still need to do the wheels and I plan on adding tint to the back three windows. Just something I did when I was bored and wanted this thing that was primer, green, and white to look better. I think it turned out great. LOL

Not any time soon that's for sure! I stay busy so for me to find time to do this was great.

I have about 5 coats on it and that's the key. The first layer should be very VERY spotty. Second should be the same, third should have some zebra/leopard spotting going on, and the 4th should fill in the rest and the 5 is to give it an even coat. If you see striping, it needs another coat.

You did this with the cans or using an actual spray gun? It looks really good. How much did it take?

Cans. Prep to finish about 8 hours or so. Less than $100.
